I wanted to start working on a simple game concept I have, just as a side project/hobby/learning experience.
Pygames or Pyglet came immediately to mind, but it looks like they aren’t being actively developed. Or perhaps they are, but extreeemely slowly.
I want a high-level programming language, multi-OS support, 2D focus (or suitable for 2D stuff, anyway), and active development. What are my options?
I use Pygame and think it is a great option. The community is fairly active, I see a new or updated project posted about every other day on Pygame’s homepage.
Another good option would be the Love2d framework, which you can find here: http://love2d.org/. Love2d uses the language Lua, which is a high level, beginner-friendly language like Python.
